Dear Parents,
We have a great week with lots of new things to learn! Our character trait this week has been flexibility. Flexibility is not setting my affections on ideas or plans which could be changed by God or others. To be honest, this has been one that has been just as much for me this week as it has been for the kids. In our ever changing world, we have continually discussed this week how the Lord is in control of all things and that He is our Protector and Provider, our “ever present help in time of need”. I have loved that this week our memory verse has been about the peace the Lord gives and we can dwell with Him in safety.
Concerning Serve-a-thon…
Serve-A-Thon 2020 is scheduled for THURSDAY, April 9th. Monday, an email was sent out to elementary and secondary families, explaining this event. Our deadline to turn in the following items is March 16th (ONE WEEK from this coming Monday)! These items can also be found on pages 4-6 of the Update!
• Ten-Name Sponsor List or $150 per family (plus $10/child for families with more than one child) • Permission Form • $3 for lunch • T-shirt Order Form
EACH STUDENT who returns his/her sponsor list (with complete addresses), or $150 (plus $10/child for families with more than one child), by the deadline of Monday, March 16th, will receive a FREE Serve-A-Thon t-shirt. Partnering together, we can make this the best year yet!
Concerning Book Fair…
In an effort to avoid any unnecessary risks that could have a negative impact on your child due to the Coronavirus, we are canceling the Scholastic Book Fair at this time. We apologize for the inconvenience and the disappointment this may cause. We are currently practicing an abundance of caution without taking any unnecessary risks. Also, parents were texted a survey link that we are asking you to take in regards to additional steps GCS should take involving this situation. Thank you for your input!
Have a great weekend!
Sincerely,
Mrs. Lilly
